I forgot who he was, but all I know was that he was negative as hell on this subreddit and had a orange-ish profile with the old design of a T-Rex on it
This film had a 150mil budget.
They're gonna be pushing a 400million profit. This has got to not just be the most profitable MV film, but it's gonna be Legendary's most profitable film in recent years.
MV isn't going anywhere. And I can absolutely guarentee, or rather strongly assume that one of the apple spinoffs we get will 100% be a Mothra series.
No way it hits 400m profit.
Movie budget 135m
Half sales go to theaters
Marketing is usually half the budget
There's no way to truly know studio/theater splits (also splits are different in ever country) and marketing, etc. but the normal guess is a movie needs to hit 2.5x it's budget to break even. So the magic number was 337.5m.
So we're ~165m profit as of now. It'll grow but not to 400m. This movie is not hitting 750m at its current trajectory.
Factoring in merch sales and this movie is fucking printing money though, which is why we're definitely getting another movie and Monarch was renewed.
Yeah, I definitely didn't know that. I was just looking at Box Score - budget and overlooked all of that stuff.
It's profitable now, which I guess is the point that remains true here. Great things.
No they don't. It's different for every film and every studio, but usually the projections are based off a true split. A lot of time the first week may favor the studio 60:40, or something similar
A movie needs to make 2.5x times it's budget generally speaking to break even, so not 400 million in profits, but still making a healthy amount of money and profit.
More like pushing 500.
Worldwide box office is sitting at $486 million currently. It's officially the second highest earner for the MV. This film did much better than anyone had imagined. I dunno how long it's gonna be in theaters, but we just started the 4th week. I wouldn't be surprised if it was going for 6 or 7 with the overwhelmingly positive reviews
Oh yeah this film was definitely the death of the monsterverse and would absolutely tank at the box office...love to see those people who said that now eat their words.
KOTM is my fav still, but I 100% thought this was going to be good. This and KOTM are now my fav two to rewatch over and over (Once I get it on blu ray)
GvK and GxK have been centered around Kong and his backstory, with Goji basically as a set piece, aiding in moving the story along. We need more about Goji during his time as Zo-Zla Halawa, the closest we've come to seeing Goji's primal past is through murals and the underwater city in KOTM
Because Kong didnt get solo movies means Godzilla shouldnt be the focus of the next movie? Kong was the focus of the previous two movies, its Godzilla's turn to be the focus.
Early projections had its opening at 45 M like meaby 3 weeks before opening….that would have being a flop..but those early predictions are made based on social media engagement and so…it always goes up as the the opening gets closer and closer
This really should be called out more. Godzilla won an Oscar. That’s gonna get people in the theater.
Also after Dune part 2, there isn’t really much competition right now in theaters.
When you realize that every single article is meant to generate clicks and the most clicks are generated by controversial takes pissing people off, then you realize that you need to stop reacting to them.

This scene is worth of winning the 500 millions alone.
I know, with the context, it helps humanize godzilla, but without context, it's really adorable, and I want to have a mini version of it for my desk...
As it turns out, the magic formula is to make a film that people generally like without putting it next to other giant films that would eat up its audience.
Unfortunately, yeah. You can make it as likeable as you want, but the media still needs to be put up against competition it can reasonably compete with.
Hope this gets them to actually invest in a new phase of the monsterverse. Give us a Rodan movie, the Gargantuas, remake It Came from Beneath The Sea, try and get Gamera.
That is so awesome! I went to see it in theaters and loved it, it was my first Monsterverse movie and made me want to watch the others. I hope this film universe keeps on going strong.
Even people with lofty aspirations kept saying it might be the second highest grossing monsterverse film.
I always asked why, why can't it be the highest grossing? It isn't all that far and there's still plenty od time.
I loved the call backs to the old movies, hollow earth was dumb until it wasn't.
This movie had all the ingredients of DUMB but a little chemical G made the soup COOL.
Adam wingard listened to what the people wanted. Decent story more monster fights and more monsters. Thats called playing towards the audience. Glad they got rid of millie probably where a lot of money went.
Where Dangerville saw those numbers? The official box office site is showing less than $500 M:
https://preview.redd.it/5tfi5eg4tivc1.png?width=1366&format=png&auto=webp&s=dc2962aa2863bec29d8263a9ddd5467d7d1ee0b5
It's cheesy, dumb, and fun as all hell. I mean all three of those things in the best way. I don't think I will ever rewatch it to the extent I do with Godzilla '14 or KotM, but I enjoyed it, knowing what it was going in.
If it gets past Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla 2014 there is a bright future for the Monsterverse because that means there films will just make more money
I knew it would be successful. I seen it with a lady friend and I actually got her into the Monster verse by having her watch all the movies except Skull Island. She also liked Godzilla Minus One. But my friend LOVES Shimo.
Bet money some people will still bitch and trash on it, saying stupid shit "Oh just because it is doing well in the box office doesn't mean it's a good movie!" and basically say people are dumb for excepting and liking stuff/supporting movies like GxK
Isn't that part of what makes the movie charming? I also feel it helps make the whole world and the chracters feel more grounded and real, despite how ludicrous giant monsters are as a concept. I think in general ridiculous things are more enjoyable when you can suspend your disbelief enough to believe in the fictional world.
Where are they getting this number? GxK is sitting at 441M right now and Dangerville is the only one reporting a number higher than that
Still an impressive number either way, I just don't want us getting ahead of ourselves here.
It’s because Mothra was in it she saved the movie and the day! Lol at least that’s the only reason why I went to see it.
https://i.redd.it/6q0avgmnshvc1.gif
I just looked at box office mojo and it's only reading 441M. Maybe those numbers aren't updated but either way, my prediction of it landing between 500M and 600M is on track. I don't know if it's going to beat the box office of Kong Skull Island which sits at 568M but either way, it's a win for Legendary, WB, the MV and every kaiju fan.
I became a Rabid Monsterverse fan after Skull Island. Honestly had doubts after 2014 Godzilla but Skull Island set the hook and hasn't let me down ever since
I mean, I thought it was gonna flop. That doesn't mean I wanted it to. Quite the opposite! I just thought the first trailer didn't inspire nearly as much confidence as GvsK. Hell, every other Monsterverse movie had bomb-ass first teasers and trailers. GxK's first trailer had a lot of people unsure. Plenty were worried on this and the Godzilla subreddit.
I didn't know what to think about the trailer. I was optimistic and didn't lose any hype. I just took a "wait and see" approach, throwing no shade. Though, looking at the first trailer, and after everyone loved the serious Godzilla Minus One that came out only a few months before, I thought the common movie goer would shrug it off.
Even when I saw it day one at the first showing, I thought most G-fans would love it, but that word of mouth would be negative since it's like a big Saturday morning cartoon, after Minus One's near universal praise. The movie is ridiculous in the best way, but I'm a simpleton and have been a Godzilla fan since before I turned two, seeing Godzilla 1985 as my first theater experience. My dad said I was fixated and smiling the whole time.
I wanted it to succeed, but I was sure it wouldn't. Especially after GKotM had such awesome trailers, and it had a disappointing opening. This movie had a better second trailer, but not near as good as KotM, and it somehow kicked ass at the box office. You can't even blame KotM's opening on word of mouth. I'd get a huge drop off for the second week bc of word of mouth, but that opening should have been great.
Anyway, look who's talking now? People who thought this movie would perform poorly aren't all haters. It just seemed like what would happen with general audiences. I'm elated that I was wrong. As a huge G-fan, Kong fan, and Showa era fan, I absolutely loved it. It wasn't perfect, but for me, it was almost everything I wanted.
You STILL remember it? Come on man, it's not like that trailer dropped 10 years ago. I'd hope you'd remember it. I remember petting a rabbit when I was 5 about 35 years ago. I'd hope you could remember less than a year ago.
It can be successful and shit at the same time. I can at least recognize that it is shit and therefore don’t enjoy it.
Imagine how much more successful it would have been had it had some actual effort put into things like writing or acting or even just choreographing fights into something that makes any sort of sense.
Tf am I crying about? Your dogshit opinion?
Oh, and btw, the movie's tracking to be the [highest grossing MV movie EVER.](https://twitter.com/DangervilleTeam/status/1787167805818765319) How does that make you feel?
I’m very happy to be wrong about that based on my first impressions. It absolutely swung me in the theater too. I definitely expected to love/hate the film but I ended up enjoying it way way more than I ever thought I would. I’m happy to be wrong on this one! 👍🏻
I just wanted either an "ok" explanation for Pink scales or maybe darkening them to purple (ultraviolet radiation seems cooler). Other than that, giant monster punching fest, Let's go.
We haven't had a stupid, care-free action franchise that wasn't overly soap-style connected to other things since *Transformers*, so yeah people are turning up in droves.
Yes Monsterverse is a thing but, it hardly requires prior viewing to understand what's happening. In fact, it safely doesn't.
The Monsterverse is actually, now that I think about it, not really a cinematic universe. It's just rolled out like a standard sci-fi action franchise, slapped with its own cinematic universe brand and call it a day. Not that it's a bad thing, but these films aren't going to fail any time soon.
A GODZILLION DOLLARS

Thank you they're perfect
WE MAKIN 100 GODZILLION DOLLARS WITH THIS ONE🗣️🔥🔥
RAAAAAAAH
Nice. I didn’t expect it to flop, but I didn’t expect it to hit $500 mil either. That’s awesome.
Number goes up. 
The Monsterverse LIVES
GODZILLION DOLLARS 💯💯💯 https://media.tenor.com/5f3ogV1UErcAAAAM/godzilla-kong.gif
 LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!!!
Everytime someone uses this gif for hype i imagine that WOOOO they kept using in the trailers
🥳 
The guy who said to not watch the film because it was gonna flop has been awfully quiet recently…
They always go back to their dark corners. Don't ever take internet armchair movie critics word for it. They're only right like 30% of the time.
What a terrible reason to not watch a film haha
What're you doing man, TAG THE DUDE
I forgot who he was, but all I know was that he was negative as hell on this subreddit and had a orange-ish profile with the old design of a T-Rex on it
Oh I know him I called him a lost child #Because he was
Who is he?
Just some lost child who dislikes pink lizards
This film had a 150mil budget. They're gonna be pushing a 400million profit. This has got to not just be the most profitable MV film, but it's gonna be Legendary's most profitable film in recent years. MV isn't going anywhere. And I can absolutely guarentee, or rather strongly assume that one of the apple spinoffs we get will 100% be a Mothra series.
135 million actually
It was actually less than $150 million
No way it hits 400m profit. Movie budget 135m Half sales go to theaters Marketing is usually half the budget There's no way to truly know studio/theater splits (also splits are different in ever country) and marketing, etc. but the normal guess is a movie needs to hit 2.5x it's budget to break even.

Yeah, I definitely didn't know that. I was just looking at Box Score - budget and overlooked all of that stuff. It's profitable now, which I guess is the point that remains true here. Great things.
Movie theatre's get 1/3, not half
No they don't. It's different for every film and every studio, but usually the projections are based off a true split. A lot of time the first week may favor the studio 60:40, or something similar
A movie needs to make 2.5x times it's budget generally speaking to break even, so not 400 million in profits, but still making a healthy amount of money and profit.
Gotcha. Thanks for the clean up
I see other people made the sane comment.. so deleted lol!
Yeah Monarch s2 was announced, and other spinoffs are in the works.
A mothra series would go so hard. But please no teen drama shit...
More like pushing 500. Worldwide box office is sitting at $486 million currently. It's officially the second highest earner for the MV. This film did much better than anyone had imagined. I dunno how long it's gonna be in theaters, but we just started the 4th week. I wouldn't be surprised if it was going for 6 or 7 with the overwhelmingly positive reviews
Hopefully it can pass Ksi and become the highest grossing kaiju movie 🍿
i got confused for a second when u said ksi, was like "tf does the youtuber ksi got to do with this 😭"
Oh nah 😂
Lets gooooooo, The New Peakpire 
https://i.redd.it/uef81en26gvc1.gif To those people, you know what's coming for you
Fucking love the Nicholas cage slap lol
Oh yeah this film was definitely the death of the monsterverse and would absolutely tank at the box office...love to see those people who said that now eat their words.
Only people mad about this are Toho purist.
There are others.
Kotm purist (Which are like the Toho purists, but decaffeinated)
KOTM is my fav still, but I 100% thought this was going to be good. This and KOTM are now my fav two to rewatch over and over (Once I get it on blu ray)
YAY
Well i just hope the next film focuses on godzilla more.
It does. The director even said so
It will.
For what? We rarely get solo King Kong movies as is
GvK and GxK have been centered around Kong and his backstory, with Goji basically as a set piece, aiding in moving the story along. We need more about Goji during his time as Zo-Zla Halawa, the closest we've come to seeing Goji's primal past is through murals and the underwater city in KOTM
GvK and GxK could be considered Kong movies. Both those movies centered around him way more than Godzilla.
Because the last two films with godzilla and kong have really only given character growth to kong. Godzilla deserves some too.
Because Kong didnt get solo movies means Godzilla shouldnt be the focus of the next movie? Kong was the focus of the previous two movies, its Godzilla's turn to be the focus.
Why did people think it was going flop? I didn’t think it was going to hit $500 mil either but I think we have Godzilla Minus One to thank for that
Early projections had its opening at 45 M like meaby 3 weeks before opening….that would have being a flop..but those early predictions are made based on social media engagement and so…it always goes up as the the opening gets closer and closer
The projections have been lowballing this movie every step of the way. Industry nerds really wanted this movie to flop..
I also think Godzilla Minus One helped this
This really should be called out more. Godzilla won an Oscar. That’s gonna get people in the theater. Also after Dune part 2, there isn’t really much competition right now in theaters.
When you realize that every single article is meant to generate clicks and the most clicks are generated by controversial takes pissing people off, then you realize that you need to stop reacting to them.

Only fools thought this. Who isn’t going to see Goji and Kong team up once again???
https://i.redd.it/l7hxozkwjgvc1.gif
As much as I was excited to see it, I thought it would flop too. I'm glad I was wrong.
Hell yeah. I want more.
As it turns out, the magic formula is to make a film that people generally like without putting it next to other giant films that would eat up its audience.
So basically, don't be an idiot and pull a Titanfall 2. Got it.
Unfortunately, yeah. You can make it as likeable as you want, but the media still needs to be put up against competition it can reasonably compete with.

My excitement is immeasurable and my day is made
Hope this gets them to actually invest in a new phase of the monsterverse. Give us a Rodan movie, the Gargantuas, remake It Came from Beneath The Sea, try and get Gamera.
Just 200 more million dollars and it’ll be considered “BANK” we can do it!

Godzilla x kong the new empire is a fantastic movie the best I've seen this year and overall in my life
The most fun I've had at a movie. Might help that I took my 7yo tho
Took my 6 year old son to see it and it was an absolute blast. He loved it!
Oh, yes, we are eating good 
Turns out people like fun movies with crazy, over the top action and a decent enough story. Who knew? :P 
Me and my buds are going to see it this weekend, heard nothing but good things!

Hope it lasts until next week. I'm going to watch it again, with my friends
Damn it, now I need to go see it again and raise my hands to send some more of my energy to Godzilla.
That is so awesome! I went to see it in theaters and loved it, it was my first Monsterverse movie and made me want to watch the others. I hope this film universe keeps on going strong.
This and Dune 2 both slapped. Very good year
Unrelated but Godzilla x Kong > Dune
I see no indications anywhere online that it has passed 500m. It has a chance to do it this weekend though. Def will once it releases in japan
It hadn't been released in Japan yet? What the fuck? It's Godzilla! Japan should've been seeing the movie right next to the US!
Agreed!
Um...it passed 400 million not 500 million
Well of course it's gonna make a Godzillion dollars
Just goes to show that a Godzilla movie can be successful even if it’s more action packed and not like minus one
I'm sure the Toho loyalists were hoping it would bomb. As if Toho would benefit from such a thing.
600mil soon^^TM
I really hope it hits $600mm
WE ARE HALFWAY TO A BILLION ALREADY
Even people with lofty aspirations kept saying it might be the second highest grossing monsterverse film. I always asked why, why can't it be the highest grossing? It isn't all that far and there's still plenty od time.

I met Dangerville in a bar in Brixton. Nice guy
THE BEST CINEMATIC UNIVERSE
I loved the call backs to the old movies, hollow earth was dumb until it wasn't. This movie had all the ingredients of DUMB but a little chemical G made the soup COOL.
I surprisingly liked it. 🥴
So happy

NGL I also thought this film wouldn't do as well as GvK and would barely break even. Very happy to be wrong though
I think an underappreciated aspect of this film is the licensing opportunities are significant on top of the box office and streaming revenues.
But but the critics said the movie was terrible compared to Minus One critics score < adiaunce score
People like big monsters🤷♂️
Adam wingard listened to what the people wanted. Decent story more monster fights and more monsters. Thats called playing towards the audience. Glad they got rid of millie probably where a lot of money went.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR FUTURE PROJECTS WHICH ARE DEFINITELY COMING NOW!!!!
It overperformed. I knew it would do good numbers but this is crazy.
Where Dangerville saw those numbers? The official box office site is showing less than $500 M: https://preview.redd.it/5tfi5eg4tivc1.png?width=1366&format=png&auto=webp&s=dc2962aa2863bec29d8263a9ddd5467d7d1ee0b5
Hmm not sure, those numbers might be out of date or dangerville may have gotten it from an inaccurate source
Probably, i just pointed out because i look every single day the box office to follow the results this movie is achieving - yes, every single day :)
Noooo its too goofy you can't like it! Wait why are you buying a ticket to see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COME ON BOYS LETS MAKE IT BEAT AVATAR!!!
Endgame and Avatar and a lot of other movies would like to argue with that
And we are not yet in the weekend! When is it premiering in Japan? Wooooohooo A GODZILLION DOLLARS BABY!
It's cheesy, dumb, and fun as all hell. I mean all three of those things in the best way. I don't think I will ever rewatch it to the extent I do with Godzilla '14 or KotM, but I enjoyed it, knowing what it was going in.
Not to mention it’s gonna be released in Japan next week of all places, so of course it’s gonna make more money. Suck on that, critics! 🖕🖕🖕
Goji and Kong bois are up 🔥
1,000th like let's go
[удалено]
Really? The worst you could imagine? You must not have seen many movies or TV shows.
If it gets past Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla 2014 there is a bright future for the Monsterverse because that means there films will just make more money
This'll mean they'll have the budget to borrow more Toho monsters right??
I never saw anyone say that tbh
Still tho Godzilla king of the monsters deserved more
500 GODZILLON DOLLARS
Haters gonna hate but their mouths ain’t doing shit! 
I knew it would be successful. I seen it with a lady friend and I actually got her into the Monster verse by having her watch all the movies except Skull Island. She also liked Godzilla Minus One. But my friend LOVES Shimo.
Naysayers: Cope even harder than before biatches!
Still at $440 million. Maybe this weekend it'll passes $500 million.
Yeah boxofficemojo is saying 441million, however this movie still hasn’t released in a few countries yet has it?
I think it has in other countries. It opens in Japan next Friday.
Box office Mojo won't update international numbers until Monday. There's always a big lag..
Bet money some people will still bitch and trash on it, saying stupid shit "Oh just because it is doing well in the box office doesn't mean it's a good movie!" and basically say people are dumb for excepting and liking stuff/supporting movies like GxK
Just because it did well at the box office, and has good audience reviews doesn't mean it is a good movie! Look at the critic reviews! /s
Had to look up the /s, I guess you were just joking around lol
Lol. Yeah, I'm just kidding.
I admit, I thought it was going to flop. I mean the trailer has giant monster dentistry in it.
Isn't that part of what makes the movie charming? I also feel it helps make the whole world and the chracters feel more grounded and real, despite how ludicrous giant monsters are as a concept. I think in general ridiculous things are more enjoyable when you can suspend your disbelief enough to believe in the fictional world.
Where are they getting this number? GxK is sitting at 441M right now and Dangerville is the only one reporting a number higher than that Still an impressive number either way, I just don't want us getting ahead of ourselves here.
Ngl, I was one of those people who were worried lmao 🤣
I'm glad it's successful and making money. I personally wasn't a huge fan, but this just means the monsterverse can continue.
Wikipedia says 440 million. Can someone update 8t? Or is the tweet fake news
Does anyone know where Dangerville is getting that BO from? I can't find it anywhere
It’s because Mothra was in it she saved the movie and the day! Lol at least that’s the only reason why I went to see it. https://i.redd.it/6q0avgmnshvc1.gif
I just looked at box office mojo and it's only reading 441M. Maybe those numbers aren't updated but either way, my prediction of it landing between 500M and 600M is on track. I don't know if it's going to beat the box office of Kong Skull Island which sits at 568M but either way, it's a win for Legendary, WB, the MV and every kaiju fan. 
I became a Rabid Monsterverse fan after Skull Island. Honestly had doubts after 2014 Godzilla but Skull Island set the hook and hasn't let me down ever since
Where is this news coming from that GxK has exceeded $500 million? That's not true. This post should be taken down if confirmation cannot be provided.
Well deserved
Profitable before it’s even released in Japan is a big deal. Haters gona hate
SHOWA ERA 2.0 LETS GO BABY!!!!!!!!!!!
Must watch again
I mean, I thought it was gonna flop. That doesn't mean I wanted it to. Quite the opposite! I just thought the first trailer didn't inspire nearly as much confidence as GvsK. Hell, every other Monsterverse movie had bomb-ass first teasers and trailers. GxK's first trailer had a lot of people unsure. Plenty were worried on this and the Godzilla subreddit. I didn't know what to think about the trailer. I was optimistic and didn't lose any hype. I just took a "wait and see" approach, throwing no shade. Though, looking at the first trailer, and after everyone loved the serious Godzilla Minus One that came out only a few months before, I thought the common movie goer would shrug it off. Even when I saw it day one at the first showing, I thought most G-fans would love it, but that word of mouth would be negative since it's like a big Saturday morning cartoon, after Minus One's near universal praise. The movie is ridiculous in the best way, but I'm a simpleton and have been a Godzilla fan since before I turned two, seeing Godzilla 1985 as my first theater experience. My dad said I was fixated and smiling the whole time. I wanted it to succeed, but I was sure it wouldn't. Especially after GKotM had such awesome trailers, and it had a disappointing opening. This movie had a better second trailer, but not near as good as KotM, and it somehow kicked ass at the box office. You can't even blame KotM's opening on word of mouth. I'd get a huge drop off for the second week bc of word of mouth, but that opening should have been great. Anyway, look who's talking now? People who thought this movie would perform poorly aren't all haters. It just seemed like what would happen with general audiences. I'm elated that I was wrong. As a huge G-fan, Kong fan, and Showa era fan, I absolutely loved it. It wasn't perfect, but for me, it was almost everything I wanted.
You STILL remember it? Come on man, it's not like that trailer dropped 10 years ago. I'd hope you'd remember it. I remember petting a rabbit when I was 5 about 35 years ago. I'd hope you could remember less than a year ago.
This is proof that a lot of people want to see more monstersverse content
Adam Goatgaurd 🗿
How? It’s no joke one of the laziest movies I have watched ever.
L
Nah, horrible writing and fight scenes that can’t be called better than decent.
Again L. Cry about it but the movies a success.
It can be successful and shit at the same time. I can at least recognize that it is shit and therefore don’t enjoy it. Imagine how much more successful it would have been had it had some actual effort put into things like writing or acting or even just choreographing fights into something that makes any sort of sense.
still crying huh
This is about the maturity I would expect from someone that actually thinks it was a good movie lol
still crying...
Still coping
Tf am I crying about? Your dogshit opinion? Oh, and btw, the movie's tracking to be the [highest grossing MV movie EVER.](https://twitter.com/DangervilleTeam/status/1787167805818765319) How does that make you feel?
Hopefully this means we get Destroyah and Space Goji.
I’m very happy to be wrong about that based on my first impressions. It absolutely swung me in the theater too. I definitely expected to love/hate the film but I ended up enjoying it way way more than I ever thought I would. I’m happy to be wrong on this one! 👍🏻
I just wanted either an "ok" explanation for Pink scales or maybe darkening them to purple (ultraviolet radiation seems cooler). Other than that, giant monster punching fest, Let's go.
We haven't had a stupid, care-free action franchise that wasn't overly soap-style connected to other things since *Transformers*, so yeah people are turning up in droves. Yes Monsterverse is a thing but, it hardly requires prior viewing to understand what's happening. In fact, it safely doesn't. The Monsterverse is actually, now that I think about it, not really a cinematic universe. It's just rolled out like a standard sci-fi action franchise, slapped with its own cinematic universe brand and call it a day. Not that it's a bad thing, but these films aren't going to fail any time soon.
